| Thanks all.
I do have a ton of effects going, including motion blur but other than motion blur not a lot of the major hogs however, I'm not the expert on all of them. A bit of motion blur but not throughout and a bit of tracked stuff but via mocha not camera tracker.
It is still rendering at h264, .mp4 is what I ended up going with after a small test. But looks like it will render until tomorrow afternoon.
I have the DNxHD but haven't tried that in a while.

I think the point is you are better off doing your render to an intra-frame codec first and then compress that file to your liking. For the compression, if you do not have a player/platform requirement, I would go with H.264 at a low-bit rate (using an mp4 wrapper) With most compression software now you can setup a watch folder so that you can automatize that process.

personally I'd probably output DNxHD 145 or ProRes LT unless you need to push the file across the net on a slower connection. even then it might be faster to output a ProRes file, then encode to h.264
